"Brother Hunter!" Ning Chengyu extended his hand to Zhang Lang with a sincere expression. (Google search reading)

Judging from his age, he was probably in his early twenties, a college student or a recent graduate. He was younger than Zhang Lang's actual age, but should be slightly older than Zhang Lang in the main world. Zhang Lang was a little unsure how to respond to being called "Big Brother," so he could only reach out and shake hands with Young Master Ning.

"I admit, when I first met you, I didn't really think much of you, and I was even a little jealous of your good luck in drawing such a powerful item..." Ning Chengyu scratched his head a little embarrassedly and glanced at Xiao Mo beside him:

"But now, I'm convinced. You're a true master. I've seen many hero-level players, but none of them are as powerful as you!"

Zhang Lang nodded: "No need for flattery, what's the matter?"

Zhang Lang's bluntness left Ning Chengyu speechless for a moment. Catherine walked over and said, "To put it simply, we want to hire you."

"A servant?" Zhang Lang frowned slightly.

"I know you happened to come to this altar," Catherine explained, "but as you've probably seen, the reincarnators at this altar are all serving Young Master Ning, with the goal of helping him earn as many points as possible before becoming a hero!"

Zhang Lang nodded and pointed at Ning Chengyu: "Your employer is his father?"

Catherine nodded and said, "Mr. Ning is indeed an employer to the other reincarnators. He receives generous rewards after each mission, not only in terms of altars, but also in various benefits in the secular world."

"But I'm different from Kang Hai. In reality, Mr. Ning is the one we're loyal to. Compared to other reincarnators, besides protecting the young master, we can also exercise some powers on behalf of Mr. Ning, including interviewing and hiring other reincarnators."

"You've taken a liking to me?" Zhang Lang looked at Ning Chengyu. "Just who is your father?"

"Mr. Ning is an important figure in the Broken Sword's Eastern Branch!" It was Kang Hai who spoke. "You've heard of the Broken Sword, haven't you?"

Zhang Lang nodded: "I heard it's a very large organization?"

"It's the largest of the Shen Clan!" Catherine tilted her head slightly, a hint of pride on her face. "More than 1,500 reincarnators have participated, and tens of thousands of ordinary personnel are on the periphery. The organization's main objectives are twofold: first, to deal with various supernatural phenomena in the main world; and second, to unite the reincarnators at the altar to help the Shen Clan achieve victory in the dimensional battlefield!"

"The Broken Sword not only has strong financial backing, but has also obtained a lot of official privileges. It can be said that joining us is an extra layer of protection for reincarnators. You will gain thousands of companions, and everyone will share resources and intelligence. This will be of great benefit to both life in the real world and adventures in the mission world. Moreover, as..."

"Enough..." Zhang Lang interrupted Catherine's pitch impatiently, "Just tell me, what price will Mr. Ning offer to hire me?"

Catherine thought for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "500 points per world, and I'll give you... a rare-grade sword enhancement or wine enhancement!"

Zhang Lang blinked: "That's it?"

"This is the best we can offer!" Catherine argued. "Even the Broken Sword is a unique piece of equipment, extremely rare, one in a world at a time. Even if you don't like it, you can trade it with others... Besides, we only ask that you protect the young master and help him earn more points; we don't limit your own point-earning efficiency..."

"Rare-grade... that doesn't hold much appeal for me!" Zhang Lang interrupted Catherine. "Protecting someone means expending extra energy, which will inevitably slow down my score-farming progress. Even if it reduces my score by 20%, you do the math?"

Catherine was taken aback, recalling Zhang Lang's earnings from this trip: 20% of 60,000 points, equivalent to 12,000 points! This was indeed something that a rare item and 500 points couldn't compare to...

Zhang Lang sighed and looked at Ning Chengyu, whose expression was somewhat conflicted: "Besides, relying on the help of others all the time, even if you receive a lot of rewards, it's difficult to truly grow..."

After saying this, Zhang Lang retreated into the darkness, transforming into black flames and leaving the altar.

"Wait..." Catherine tried to stop him, taking a step forward, but Kang Hai pulled her back: "Want to chase him into the darkness? Are you crazy? He can hold off the monsters in the dark, can you?"

"But..." Catherine wanted to say something, but Ning Chengyu waved her hand to interrupt her.

"He's right!" Young Master Ning gazed at the direction Zhang Lang had left in the darkness. "I can never become a true master by relying solely on the help of others!"

As he spoke, Ning Chengyu's eyes hardened: "For the next mission, I want to go on adventure alone!"

…………

Back in the real world, Zhang Lang was still on a dimly lit street.

Recalling the invitation Catherine extended before he left, this was already his second encounter with the Broken Sword organization.

The total number of reincarnators at the Shen Clan Altar is estimated to be just over ten thousand, and more than one-tenth of them have joined the same organization. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that this Broken Sword can represent the Shen Clan Altar.

However, Zhang Lang does not want to have much interaction with this organization right now.

Since there is an organization, there will be a distribution of benefits, which in turn leads to classes, rules, and power.

The entire main world was still somewhat unfamiliar to Zhang Lang, and he could not possibly fully trust an organization formed by reincarnators.

In Zhang Lang's view, he would come into contact with the Broken Sword sooner or later, but not to join it, but to cooperate with it.

Once he has enough leverage to negotiate with such a behemoth, he will naturally seek cooperation.

At least, let's wait until he becomes a hero.

With these random thoughts swirling in his mind, Zhang Lang made his way back to his dormitory.

Lights out was approaching, and everyone obediently went back to bed. Cheng Jun was chatting on the phone with Chen Lin in bed, Hong Yanjing was reading a history book before bed, and Zhao Xinpeng was scrolling through his phone, listlessly looking at the attractive female anchors. After swiping a few times, he pouted, stuffed his phone under his pillow, and muttered, "When is Su Su coming back...?"

Zhang Lang ignored his roommates and climbed into bed on his own.

Over the next few days, Zhang Lang resumed his routine of attending classes, working, and sleeping. Time flew by in the mundane, and amidst the boredom, there was a faint sense of happiness.

That day, after finishing his afternoon classes, Zhang Lang planned to go to the boxing gym to register. Just as he stepped out of the school gate, his phone vibrated. He took it out and saw it was a message from Gu Shushu.

This bespectacled girl with peculiar interests was the first person Zhang Lang met in the main world, and he remembered her quite well. However, apart from the first few days, the two had basically no contact for the next six months. How did they reconnect now?

Zhang Lang opened the message, which read: "Come to the coffee shop on the first floor of Wanlong, I have something to tell you!"

Attached below was a photo of the coffee shop's facade, as if to make sure Zhang Lang hadn't gone to the wrong place.

Zhang Lang frowned, wondering why Gu Shushu wanted to see him, when another message came in:

"I've found a way to bring the dead back to life!"

Upon seeing this sentence, Zhang Lang's pupils suddenly contracted, and he turned to look towards Wanlong Square outside the school gate...
